Traffic Department raising students' awareness on the road

AMMAN — The Central Traffic Department on Monday launched its annual campaign on the occasion of "back to school" to raise the awareness of students and teachers on traffic rules and road safety.

Public Security Department Assistant Director for Traffic Affairs Brig. Gen. Fawaz Maaitah said the campaign is aimed at reducing fatalities in traffic accidents that mostly threaten students when crossing roads. He said the campaign will target children under 14 years old, and police officers will be present near schools to distribute booklets to raise awareness.
